Picture this: You're getting dressed up for a Summer party, and you want a fun outfit that's both unique and comfortable. Your dresses are gorgeous, but if you're looking for something different, why not grab a pair of shorts [1]? Yes, you read that right. One of my most memorable outfits was to a Memorial Day party years ago; I wore a pair of black tuxedo-style shorts with a three-quarter-sleeved beaded top, and I still get compliments on it. Shorts are a really fun piece; they help create an outfit that's sexy and cool at the same time.
This Summer, make a statement in these 21 shorts. They're flattering [2], current, and definitely head-turning for your next party. If you're going to a cocktail party, a pool party, or anywhere in between, grab a pair of shorts [3], and thank us later.
